I love a credit card approval email almost as much as an airline upgrade notification

2) (Offer now expired)Chase Ink Plus with 60,000 points after $5,000 spent within the first three months. $95 annual fee waived the first year.
Status: Still pending. My Chase contacts informed me that due to incredible interest in the offer, the approval times would be longer than normal. I called the automated application status line at 1-(800) 432-3117 and it still says pending. I’m going to wait this one out and hope for an auto-approval since my credit score is high and I already have a strong relationship with numerous checking/savings accounts, auto loan and credit/charge card accounts.

Update: The current offer for the Ink Plus and Ink Bold is 50,000 points after $5,000 spent in 3 months.

Per this FlyerTalk thread, it looks like many others are waiting too, but automatic approvals are happening every day. To be honest, I’m not too worried about it and if they need any more information, they know where to find me. I currently have a Bold, Plus and Ink Bold Exclusives (discontinued as of 2011), but I applied for this Ink Plus using a new business EIN, so I hope I can get the sign-up bonus, though it officially says the bonus is once per customer. I’ll keep everyone updated on whether I get the bonus or not. I currently have 8 active Chase credit/charge cards:Personal: Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, British Airways, Hyatt, United ExplorerBusiness: Ink Plus, Ink Bold, Ink ExclusivesFuturecards: Fairmont, Priority Club

What has everyone else’s experience been so far getting approved for the increased Ink offers?
